for_o when_o either_o of_o these_o fail_n or_o be_v not_o effect_v with_o such_o skill_n as_o their_o mystery_n shall_v require_v then_o do_v the_o commonwealth_n abate_v &_o grow_v poor_a neither_o

either_o debase_v their_o standard_n or_o else_o overvalued_n the_o price_n of_o their_o coin_n from_o that_o equivalence_n which_o former_o they_o have_v with_o the_o standard_n and_o money_n of_o

with_o they_o at_o high_a rate_n than_o the_o prize_n of_o the_o exchange_n by_o which_o course_n be_v direct_o against_o the_o intercourse_n there_o be_v a_o great_a cause_n give_v of_o exportation_n of_o the_o money_n of_o this_o realm_n than_o otherwise_o there_o will_v be_v for_o although_o this_o be_v do_v with_o great_a danger_n to_o the_o exporter_n of_o the_o same_o it_o be_v a_o act_n against_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n yet_o notwithstanding_o covetousness_n be_v ever_o conversant_a in_o wicked_a action_n think_v nothing_o unlawful_a which_o promise_v a_o certain_a gain_n and_o how_o to_o remedy_v this_o evil_a practice_n i_o find_v it_o not_o easy_a for_o the_o debase_v of_o the_o coin_n or_o raise_v the_o price_n thereof_o in_o this_o realm_n will_v much_o impoverish_v the_o estate_n of_o particular_a man_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o conclusion_n will_v prove_v a_o business_n without_o end_n for_o who_o do_v not_o conceive_v that_o which_o will_v follow_v beyond_o the_o

money_n use_v betwixt_o nation_n although_o the_o true_a use_n thereof_o be_v a_o very_a laudable_a and_o necessary_a practice_n for_o the_o accommodate_v of_o merchant_n affair_n and_o furnish_v of_o

and_o let_v it_o not_o seem_v strange_a to_o any_o man_n that_o trade_n shall_v hurt_v and_o impoverish_v a_o commonwealth_n since_o it_o have_v be_v always_o account_v a_o excellent_a mean_n to_o

by_o our_o trade_n beyond_o the_o sea_n when_o peradventure_o there_o may_v be_v import_v yearly_a a_o great_a value_n in_o foreign_a ware_n then_o by_o any_o way_n or_o mean_n we_o do_v export_n of_o
